Postgraduate European Master in Architecture
The architectural profession is in a state of transition. Architects must increasingly look beyond design and into the entire complex process that constructing our built environment entails. The new postgraduate Architecture programme at Maastricht University provides you the knowledge and skills you need to enter the more advanced, interdisciplinary levels of the architectural profession.

What sets the programme apart?

• It is both a professional master's with an academic focus and a centre for architectural innovation
• Interdisciplinary courses from allied academic disciplines available at Maastricht University
• Collaboration with Delft University of Technology’s Faculty of Architecture
• Participants tackle real-life assignments using Project-Based Learning
• Maastricht’s historic centre and contemporary architecture provide a venue for learning opportunities and new challenges
• Research and design studios supervised by professor Jo Coenen and other leading European architects 

Programme

The two-year programme is structured around three design/research studios and a series of seminars and skills-trainings. The programme includes special Master Classes taught by leading European architects visiting Maastricht. The programme also incorporates public colloquia, lectures, fieldwork, excursions and exhibitions. The programme culminates in developing a scientific master’s thesis under the close supervision of academic staff. You must acquire 120 ECTS, corresponding to around 3,600 hours of work. Optional courses can be taken from other faculties at Maastricht University.
